Women's basketball raced out to a huge lead over Trevecca
Nazarene University and it appeared the game would be similar to this past
season's win in Nashville. However, the Trojans (1-2) came to life in the
second half and the Tigers (2-0) had to hold tight for the eventual 83-73 win.

After a convincing 51-23 lead at the break, it seemed
Georgetown could do no wrong. They raced out to a 12-4 lead and it was late in
the first half before TNU broke double digits.

"Everything was clicking early," said GC coach Andrea
McCloskey. "It would have been nice to see it remain that way, but it is just
our second game. We have a lot of new players and a new chemistry on which we
are working. But, the key thing was we buckled down when we needed to, got the
stops when we had to and finished our shots down the stretch."

The Tigers came out of the lockeroom scored one field
goal almost five minutes into the second half and then not again until just
less than 10 minutes left. They also made five free throws in that span as TNU
rolled off a 25-9 run. GC scored 23 points over the final nine minutes.

Senior Devon Golden got things going with basket in the
lane and then two possessions later nailed what might have been the dagger with
a three off an assist from Kourtney Tyra. The Tigers seemed to come to life and
TNU would only pull within six with just more than six minutes left in the
game.

Lizza Jonas had another huge offensive night to lead GC.
The junior from Lexington finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Golden
chipped in 16, Devanny King 13 and Tyra 10. Haley Armstrong, eight points, and
Jessica Foster, seven points, also played key roles off the bench.

"It was a total team effort to not get completely
flustered and have them come all the way back," McCloskey said. "They are a
good team. We watched them play Shawnee State to a final minute showdown the
night before. We knew at halftime they would make a run.

"I'm just really pleased with how our team responded and
took care of business."
